Very glad that the courts rejected the proposed merger between the parent companies of Kroger and Jewel-Osco so I will continue to have more choice and competition for my grocery store dollars spent in Illinois.
Also nice win for the Illini last night but really wish Big Ten sports were not on Peacock. I like channel flipping in the middle of games and streamed sports makes that a pain.

Having both Kroger and Albertson merged didnt make much sense. Many were say across the street or a block or two down from each other in quite a few places where both companies are.

Also glad about the denial of the Kroger/Albertson’s merger. I still miss Dominick’s. And I hope Illinois gets some Publix stores someday but probably will never happen. I really just want their deli and subs.
And Illini looked great against Wisconsin last night. Those 2 freshman, Riley and Jakucionis, are impressive. Can’t wait for #1 Tennessee on Saturday.

The ruling for a teen convicted of the stabbing death of a Lanphier High School student in Springfield in 2021 has been reversed and vacated by the Fourth District Appellate Court for Illinois. The court said she was improperly transferred from juvenile to adult court.

The Frightening Illini looked pretty good last night vs Wisconsin. There were a few shaky minutes in the second half, but they pulled out a win. They are fun to watch this year….

Interesting the Trib has moved Madigan trial coverage off the front page (today page 3).

On the possible new flag:
Can we please start over with an entirely brand-new commission? No one who chose these finalists should be allowed within 10 miles of the new group.

Emerson College Poll for the 2028 Democrat nomination has Pritzker at 1%. That puts him in the same company as Tim Walz, Hakeem Jefferies, Rashida Talib, and AOC. Among Democrat governors, Shapiro and Whitmer fared better.
Will he settle for a third term as Illinois Governor?

The lead story on CBS site was about an Illinois man that accosted Rep Mace in DC. Few details but they think it was a transgender discussion/confrontation that became a bit physical. I’m sure we’ll know more soon once Ms Miller works her magic.
